So Here I Am ....

.... at the airport .... again.
It feels almost like home .... except for the security maniacs in Terminal B. Good grief .... Our government money at work ... people who love the little power they have.

Anyway, I'm waiting to board the plane to St. Louis. Son #1 brought me and as he was driving it suddenly occurred to me that this will be my first time to wait, seriously wait, in a hospital waiting room for a serious surgery since .... well, you all know since when.
At that moment my heart beat accelerated, kind of like it is now as I'm typing this. I hope I don't hyperventilate tomorrow ... or any tme really (it doesn't sounnd like much fun).
Hopefully I'll feel peace. Hopefully I'll feel it soon .... like before I board this plane.

That's all, Peeps.

I'll keep you posted.

And happy Wednesday.
:)

Janine, I hope all goes well for your friends and you. I will be in St. Louis also, but for a much happier event--moving only daughter to Washington University for grad school. Hugs.

Janine: I will be thinking of you, and your friends. I had to sit in a hospital waiting room a year ago; about 2 years after my husband died while my dad underwent surgery for colon cancer. My mom refused to go and wait. She didn't get that it was inappropriate to ask me to go sit there even tho the last time I was in a surgical waiting room I had received the same news you did. But, I made it through with lots of prayer, deep breathing and sips of cold water (always helps me keep from crying). ooo hope I didn't make you more anxious with writing that; just wanted to let you know that I understand and will be sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way. And, that I admire you for doing it; for being such a good friend that you are willing to do this for her. She is lucky to have you!
